Overview

Showing that in its early days rap music led to black consciousness, this discussion goes on to argue that the current preoccupations of rap--especially the erotic themes expressed and their dramatization in music videos--have led to an unthinking youthful acceptance of profanity, vulgarity, sexual abuse, and violence. The book advocates for a return to rap's origins, for young people to become more selective and critical of today's music, and for parents to take a more active role in monitoring their children's listening habits.
